A photograph of a seated man on an ornate silver-and-red throne in a decorated stage set with red drapes, green foliage and a golden arch. He wears a rust-orange robe, a white and red flower garland, a gold necklace and a sandalwood forehead mark, and raises one hand in blessing. Behind him stands a gilded deity murti of a seated goddess with a child, flanked by brass oil lamps, a trident, potted plants and a red and gold kalasha-style vessel. A blurred hand holding a white flower or item is in the foreground left, and a striped woven mat covers the floor. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has a bearded face, long hair and saffron-orange robes with garlands, matching the throne and sannyasi setting.
